Workshops for children & families

Find out about our workshops which offer practical advice to both children and young people with a visible difference and their parents and carers.

Our free workshops are a great opportunity for children, young people, parents and families to meet and share experiences of life with a scar, mark or condition that affects their appearance –a visible difference.

About our workshops

Our workshops provide valuable tips and techniques to help with a range of issues including social anxiety, self-confidence, teasing and bullying.

I feel so much more confident about the future now. I feel well equipped with lots of different techniques to help me. I’m ready to face whatever life throws at me! I’m so happy that I was able to share my experiences with a lovely group of other relatable teens. I had the best time and wouldn’t change anything about it! Thank you!
